This church encourages people to give liberally of their finances and even goes so far as to make the members and non-members of the congregation feel guilty for not giving, even if they don't have anything to give, by saying things like, "Don't be stingy, " or "I don't see everyone giving." I went with a friend of mine to speak with a church representative about getting some money back that we'd given under the compulsion of the preachers/speakers that were at a conference called Reviving the Fire, and was told that there is a benevolence fund that is only available at the beginning of the year and on top of that, we were asked about whether we were members or not and then asked how long we'd been members. When we said we had only been members for 1 month, the woman told us that the benevolence fund was for those who had been members for years and were faithful tithers. We are being evicted from our apartment because of the sacrificial giving that was guarenteed to be multiplied by God. And to clear things up a bit more, we weren't looking for a benevolence fund, we want our money back, which was over $1400, that we gave in a 3 week period of time.
